Issued to mark the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics — the most expensive Games in history at an estimated $51 billion, roughly five times the original budget — this coin belongs to a broader Russian commemorative program that flooded the collector market in the lead-up to the event. The Bank of Russia released dozens of Olympic-themed issues across multiple metals and denominations, diluting individual scarcity considerably.
Sochi was the first Winter Olympics hosted by Russia since the Soviet-era 1980 Moscow Summer Games, and figure skating remained the discipline most closely tied to Russian national prestige throughout that period.
